Is the starshade going to be positioned in a fixed location in space or is it going to be moved around space on regular basis, in relation to where its coupled telescope will be pointing at? The reason for asking this is that i read (Methods, last section) that the starshade is going to be located at a distance of 72,000km away from its coupled telescope. If the starshade has to move in such a radius around its coupled telescope on regular basis, isn't that a lot of rocket fuel needed to make such maneuvers many times?
